4-H YOUTH DEVELOPMENT

University of Wisconsin-Extension programs in 4-H Youth Development give young people opportunities to learn new skills, gain self-confidence and contribute to their communities. Backed by the knowledge and research base of the University of Wisconsin, 4-H Youth Development educators design educational, leadership and citizenship experiences for youth. These programs are delivered directly through adult volunteers in neighborhood 4-H clubs or other groups and by collaborating with local organizations.
